INSTALLATION (First time)
=========================
You will need a key to get these services running.  There are several ways
of getting a key:
1.  A one month, 10 user trial key may be found on the page:
        http://www.net-shopper.co.uk/software/ntmail/key.htm
2.  You can apply for a key by completing a form at:
        http://www.net-shopper.co.uk/software/ntmail/apply.htm
    You will usually get the key of your choice (eg. unlimited users)
    emailed to you within 24 hours.
3.  Send a request to
        sales@net-shopper.co.uk

To install NTMAIL from scratch:
    Unzip the files in the directory that is to be their home.
    Enter SETUP

Please see the Manual and/or HTML pages for more complete installation instructions.



UPGRADING FROM VERSION 2.10
===========================
Changes
-------
When you upgrade from version 2.10, you will find that files and registry entries
have all been changed.  The new setup for version 3.0 is given in the User Guide.
In addition you should note:
+  That the way NTMail recognises the local domain name has changed.  In version
   2.10, defining your domain name as "company.com" would mean that mail to
   "abc.company.com" would be accepted a local.  In version 3.0 this is no longer
   true.  In version 3.0 you will need to make your domain name "company.com" AND
   add your additional local domain name as "*.company.com" in the Control Panel.
   (In the registry, the value /InternetShopper/Mail/Parameters/LocalDomainNames
   will become "company.com *.company.com").
+  The name of the POP service has been changed from "POPD" to "POP".  This means
   that your can enter "NET STOP POP" rather than "NET STOP POPD" and is now
   consistent with the other NTMail services.

The upgrade
-----------
Please follow these instructions... the upgrade to version 3.0 is very complex
and by saving the current status you can always return should something unexpected
happen.  To upgrade from a previous version of NTMail, you will need to:
    Take a backup of the registry using REGEDT32 and save the old executables.
        Start REGEDT32 up (type START REGEDT32)
	Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/InternetShopper
	Highlight the entry called "Mail" by a single click on it.
	Select the command "Save Key" from the "Registry" menu and save the
		values to a backup file.  We suggest you use the extension
		.key so you can find it later if need be.
    Enter the command
	NET STOP POPD
    (ignore the errors)

At this point you have a choice - Manual or GUI.  For the GUI update, simply
type SETUP (it will save the current executables for you).  For a manual update:
    Enter "mail -stop"
    Move the old executalbes to POP.OLD, POST.OLD and SMTP.OLD.
    Copy the three new executables (POP, POST and SMTP) to the same directory
        as the previous executables.
    Enter the command "smtp -i" to update the registry.
    Enter "mail -start"

If you have upgraded from version 2.10, you will find a residual number of
.mbx files in the NTMail base directory.  Once you are sure that the installation 
has gone well and all services are working as you would expect, delete these old 
mail boxes.  DO NOT delete the mail boxes in the In and Out directory (otherwise
you will have some very upset/confused people)!

If the installation fails, goto the Registry Editor and, after selecting 
the key "Mail", select "Restore" from the "Registry" menu.  Select your key backup 
file.  Stop the services, copy the old executables on top of the new ones and 
restart the services.  You will then have recovered your mail system.  Please 
email ntmail-support@net-shopper.co.uk with details of the problem that you 
encountered.




REMOVING NTMail
===============
To remove NTMail:
1. Go to the base directory and enter the commands:
	pop -u
	post -u
	smtp -u
2. From the registry editor, remove the key
	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/InternetShopper
3. In your winnt/system32 directory, remove the following files:
        DEL MAIL.EXE
	DEL MAILUSER.EXE
	DEL NTMAIL.CPL
	DEL NTMAIL.HLP
	DEL MAILLITE.EXE
	DEL MAILSHOW.EXE
4. Finally, remove the directory you installed NTMail in.


HOW TO TEST NTMail
==================
Once NTMail has been installed and started on your system, you should get
a copy of your POP3 email client.  Configure this program to check the
account root@company.com (where company.com is your domain name) and then
send some mail to root@company.com.  Using the password "root" try to 
collect the mail.  More details about setting up NTMail are available in
the manual.
